I was doing some research for my interior and found this article. Long story short the author concluded he should submit the fabric for testing. https://www.avweb.com/features_old/interiors-legalities-and-part-91-aircraft/

I have the six place Sigtronics portable unit from Sportys in my PA-32. It works fine. If you route the wires under seats it’s not too hateful looking. I plug my headset into it as well and use a portable push to talk so I can be on the same intercom as everyone else. I just unplug it if...

Spruce is saying expected in stock on Dec. 8 at the moment. You might get them earlier than you think. If you need it now, $48.95 with free 4 day shipping on EBay doesn’t seem too outrageous. If I order one from Spruce it’s $50.19 with the $18.44 shipping. I may just get them from EBay next time.

There is an after picture in my post above. I did cut a new hole and masked the inside of the clear plastic covering the existing load meter so it is no longer visible. Most of the wires are already there. It was over a year ago, but I think I ran a new ground and a wire for the backlight.

This is a pretty good place to ask if you are willing to let people know where you are. Otherwise talk to other pilots at your airport. I found the guy I use by asking around. I also found a great CFI/CFII that had time in PA-32’s to get me the necessary time for my insurance check out the...

Roughly 2 hours for the install in my PA32. I liked your idea of him looking for an independent A&P.

The EI unit has six wires to connect. You definitely need to find a new shop if they are quoting two days labor. That is ridiculous.

I think it took me less than 2 hours. Taking my time to cut the hole in the panel. I think I paid my IA an hour to assist and complete the logbook entry.

The load meter in my Cherokee Six was not working when I purchased the aircraft. The IA who did my pre buy inspection said it was required. For less than the price of having the old meter repaired I added one of these. https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/inpages/ei-digitalgraphic4.php...

I had a similar experience, but the pump kept saying, "All pumps are active, try again later". I couldn't get it to accept my card, but sure enough the pump was active. I pumped 50 gallons and tried to swipe my card again. Nothing. Nobody at the field so I tried to make a few calls but the...

I bought a PA-32 and needed 10 hours with a CFI for insurance. I asked around the airport and found a PA-32 owner who is also a CFI/CFII. His aircraft is 1 year older than mine. He took me up in mine and taught me a bunch of things only an owner would know, and got me my 10 hours and then...

No open flame but lots of smoke, and that’s just a drone battery. Most are 40-80wh batteries. Those Brampton bikes have a 300wh battery. The bag might give you a fighting chance of throwing it out of the aircraft.

I was thinking of getting a few for the plane, maybe I’ll pass. https://twitter.com/rishikasadam/status/1569683803144351747?s=21&t=Hx2nD_k-by3rvk8CUVEVww

Yep, I was quoted just under $19k for G3X 10” and G5 installed.

I hope so.

I like to think I am helping my wife see the benefit. I love flying, but I have never pushed her. She has been reluctant in the past, but is really coming around. I have a son at a university 3, 5, or sometimes more (with traffic) hours away by car, or a 1 hour flight. That has been...

I’m still a noob at all this but it’s great advice to just do it. I use ForeFlight and check the comments and remarks for the airport. Check satellite photos of the airport to figure out the likely place to park. Then if I have any questions or if it’s a larger airport with a tower, I might...

About 1.6 to strip, epoxy prime, and leather wrap. I have no regrets, they look even better in person! Glenn was great to work with, and he even helped me with some small repairs the yokes needed at a very reasonable rate.
